Today, in a public restroom, an elderly lady started bitching me out for not washing my hands. I was so intimidated that I did so under her accusing watch. I'm quite intolerant to many soaps, and I now have a horrible rash on my left hand because I was too frightened to explain. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my coworker cornered me in the office bathroom and insisted that, because she's been watching me, I use the bathroom too quickly and must not be washing my hands, and that I have to wash them from now on. FML
Today, I said hi to my coworker and she immediately yelled, "Get your gross unwashed hands out of my face!" I wash my hands compulsively and they were nowhere near her face. FML
Today, I ran out of toilet paper in the bathroom. I was forced to use tissues to do the job. As if that wasn't bad enough, the sanitizer in the tissues gave me a rash that made me have to stand up frequently in the lecture hall. Several people asked if I had Tourette's. FML
Today, I was washing my hands in my workplace's bathroom and caught my reflection in the mirror. I had toothpaste smeared all over my cheek. I spent the rest of the day wondering how many people had noticed and said nothing. FML
Today, I was in a shopping center when I went to the toilet. I came out, washed my hands and suddenly got a massive itch in my crotch. Without thinking I itched it. I then had to walk around the center with a wet hand print on my crotch. FML
Today, while in the restroom washing my hands, a girl decided to let one rip while in the stall. When she came out she gave me a dirty look of disgust and said, "At least wait until I leave." She and I were the only ones in the restroom. FML
Today, as I was about to go in the bathroom, a girl walked out, shaking water off her hands. Some of it landed on my face, and I just wiped it off. Then she said to her friend who was waiting for her, "The sink's broken. Can I use your hand sanitizer?" So what landed on my face? FML
Today, I really had to go to the bathroom. Due to my fear of public restrooms, I made sure it was clear before I started. I heard someone sigh halfway through. Embarrassed, I waited a full ten minutes before leaving the stall, only to see that it was only the automatic air freshener. FML
Today, I had a lady come up to me in a store just to tell me how bad my acne was and what remedies I should use. I got so embarrassed, all I could say was, "OK" and, "Thank you" until she left me alone. FML
Today, I went for a quick piss at a restaurant. As I walked out the door, a little kid in the bathroom yelled, "HEY MISTER, YOU FORGOT TO WASH YOUR HANDS!" Everyone in the dining room stared, including my date. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why don't you carry your own soap with you? If you know you are allergic and also know how unhygienic it is to not wash, YDI for putting yourself in that position!

Not washing your hands after using the restroom is nasty and helps spread disease. Skin reactions to different soaps are common so it's understandable you didn't want to use the soap there. However I still have to say YDI because you know you have this issue, why not keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer on your or other type of soap you can use.

Maybe she did have hand sanitizer on her but before she got the chance to use it some bitchy old women started berating her, and of course it's easy for us to say "YDI for not walking away" blah blah blah ect. But we don't know what kind or social problems or fear op has so we can't really judge her, and it was a old women maybe op was too scared to tell her other wise because she didn't want to seem disrespectful to the elderly.

Who says we can't judge ? That is what this app is for!!!! We pick YDI or sucks to be you. In this case OP IMO YDI. Not washing your hand can make me sick. I don't want to get sick cause someone is to ________ to bring soap with them. We wash hands to keep ourself and other from getting sick. Wash your hands!

Some people clearly don't understand the point of FML. No one should suffer because she's too lazy to carry her own soap. If she had it chances are she would have used it in the sink area.

Slowly wipe your filthy hands over her face and then back out of the restroom without breaking eye contact.

You could've just washed your hands with water? I get the same problem and I just thoroughly wash them with warm water. Always wash your hands after using the bathroom!

At least wash w/ water and tell her you're allergic to soaps.
